After sending Tuanzi away, Hu Yan handed the burning incense in his hand to his friend.

He finally understood that the prince brought Tuanzi here just to irritate this dead man who had been dead for three years.

It's really rare to see such a childish temperament in Jiang Jichen.

Jiang Jichen took the incense, took out a pot of wine from the basket and sprinkled it on the ground.

"This is the new wine that Mrs. Huo brewed this year. I brought it for you to taste..."

Halfway through his speech, he chuckled, "You used to argue with her about how women shouldn't show their faces in public, and you never drank her wine. Now that you're dead, you can't refuse."

A gust of wind blew and the incense and candles tilted.

"How's An, isn't he cute?"

"I named her Jiang An, hoping that she can live a carefree life and do whatever she wants!"

He threw the empty wine jug aside, his tough eyes lost their luster, "With the protection of me and the 500,000 National Defense Army, Jiang An will no longer be trapped in that city like you and me."

"When you left me a will, asking me to kill Princess Dongli, it was because you didn't want this child to be used as a bargaining chip or pawn for power after he was born..."

"But the child is innocent..."

"How innocent!"

Jiang Jichen's voice became a little heavier, and he was talking about Jiang An and himself.

He glanced at the girl who was riding on Huo Lang's neck and picking peaches, and his sharp eyebrows softened. "Since my brother doesn't want her, I will."

He took the jade pendant off his waist and gently placed it in front of the tombstone. "If one day Ah An's identity is discovered and he is involved in this power struggle..."

"Even if I lead the royal army and point my sword at the whole world, I will still protect her."

A gust of wind blew, and the man's white robe fluttered. He stood tall and straight, without any sign of embarrassment.

Hu Yan lowered his eyes to look at the incense sticks that were burning to the end, and stood silently behind Jiang Jichen.

Even Meng Bu Ren knelt on one knee with red eyes.

He clenched his fist and raised it above his head, "Your Highness, you have been kind to me, and I will protect you even at the cost of my own life!"

……

"Dad~"

After picking peaches, Tuanzi ran to her father with two big peaches in her hands.

She threw herself at Jiang Jichen in a bear hug and placed the peach in front of the tombstone, "This one is sweet, An An, have a try!"

I tasted it, and the teeth marks are still on it...

"Hey? Why is Admiral Meng crying?"

Meng couldn't bear it: "Miss, the wind blew into my eyes."

"Oh, all right~"

Jiang Jichen picked him up and said, "Say goodbye to uncle, we are going back home..."

Jiang An took another bite of the peach and said, "It's so heavy~"

"Goodbye uncle, come back next year~"

The stingy ghost prince quickly turned around and said in a gloomy tone, "I won't come next year..."

"The year after next?"

“I won’t come next year either…”

Tuanzi hugged her father's neck and looked at the tombstone that remained in place, "Won't he be lonely?"

Jiang Jichen raised his eyebrows, "No, he chose the place himself. Your uncle likes quietness."

Another gust of wind blew by, Hu Yan had a wooden face and said, "Prince, please be more gentle with your words!"

Huo Lang took small steps over and asked, "Hey, what did the prince say to His Highness?"

This wind...

Hu Yan rolled his eyes and said in a teasing tone, "Did you bring the wine?"

"hey-hey…"

Huo Lang scratched his head, "My wife asked me to do that."

One or two, really great!

……

On the second day after returning to the palace, Jiang An was carried to the yard by his old father while he was still asleep.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes with her fat hands and groped towards the stone table.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Hey, why is Yuanyuan here too?"

Jiang Jichen hooked a finger around the back of Tuanzi's neck, "Didn't An say that he wanted to learn martial arts? He has to get up at this time every day..."

Jiang An was startled. The chicken in the backyard kitchen hadn't crowed yet!

She wrinkled her chubby face and twisted her little hands, "Dad, An An is practicing martial arts, not staying up late."

The old father pinched his daughter's chubby face and said, "You still have to go to school in the morning, so you can only go this early..."

"How about Dad let you go back to sleep now?"

"do not want!"

Tuanzi put his hands on his hips, "An An wants to learn!"

She walked beside Yuanyuan with a heroic and proud manner, spreading her short legs and squatting in a horse stance.

All I could hear was Tuanzi muttering, "When An'an learns how to fly, An'an is going to fight!"

Still want to fly?

Jiang Jichen smiled faintly and said nothing. Let's study for a few more years...

"Jiang Si." He called softly.

A tree in the Star Picking Courtyard shook, then calmed down again.

It seems that a certain secret guard doesn't want to show up in front of Tuanzi~

The prince glanced in that direction and said in a cold tone, "Jiang Jiu, go and drive them down."

A black shadow passed by so fast that Jiang An could only see a shadow...

After a "rustling" sound, the leaves fell to the ground.

Two secret guards who looked similar also appeared in the courtyard. The reason they looked similar was that they were wrapped tightly, leaving only a pair of emotionless eyes.

Jiang An: “Wow~”

She stood in horse stance, looking back and forth between the two secret guards with wide eyes.

Jiang Jiu, she had met him several times...

Another one...

"Black stuff!"

Tuanzi stood up quickly, stopped standing in horse stance, and ran towards Jiang Si, circling around him.

Jiang Si's Adam's apple rolled. After thinking for a long time, his knees slammed heavily on the bluestone slab, "Jiang Si greets the master."

scare!

Jiang An took a step back, ran to her father, poked her head out, and waved her hand, "Blackie, does your knee hurt?"

Jiang Si: “…It doesn’t hurt!”

"Oh, all right..."

Tuanzi scratched his face awkwardly and looked at the tree where the black guy was staying. "You won't stay there all the time, will you?"

Jiang Si: "My Lord, yes."

Jiang Jichen had seen enough of the excitement and pushed Tuanzi with his hand, "Okay..."

"Go back and do the horse stance!"

He pointed at Jiang Si and said, "Look at them."

Jiang Si hesitated for a moment, a frown forming between his brows.

Secret guards supervising their masters?

"…Yes."

Tuanzi stretched her neck and saw her father leaving the yard. She looked at Jiang Si with her round eyes curiously and her little mouth kept talking.

"Why are you called Jiang Si?"

"Why is Jiang Jiu Jiang Jiu?"

"..."

Jiang Si stood in the empty courtyard and felt a little cramped for the first time in his life.

His fingers stroked the knife in his bosom, "The prince is the ninth child, so the prince's secret guards are named Jiang, which has a nine in the name."

And he is Jiang Yuchuan's secret guard, so he is Jiang Si.

He was supposed to go with his master, but Jiang Jichen stopped him and told him to wait for the young master...

Jiang An, who was thinking about what to eat for breakfast and when to finish the horse stance exercise, didn't notice anything wrong. Instead, Qi Shanyuan was distracted and thought about it.

"Snapped!"

"hiss…"

Qi Shanyuan's knee was hit by a stone, and the sharp pain brought him back to his senses.

Jiang Si withdrew his hand and said, "Horse stance is ready."

Jiang An smacked his lips and quickly got into horse stance to avoid getting beaten.

Jiang Si noticed the look in his master's eyes and realized why the prince asked him to come down...

It seems that the old father doesn’t want to be the bad guy!

The secret guard who had been with Tuanzi for a long time frowned and decided to go to the prince's main courtyard to show the ginkgo tree to his master next time!

After the morning training, Tuanzi’s short legs were trembling, and he was almost ready to crawl into the main courtyard for breakfast.

She pursed her lips, her fat face pitiful, "Dad, can't An An be a hero without any pain?"

Jiang Jichen glanced at her and asked, "Are you still asleep?"

Tuanzi: Oh~

"Butler Sun, look at Dad, he's bullying An An!"

Butler Sun, who was serving the dishes, grinned and said, "My young master, I can't control you..."

Otherwise, I will spend a little more money to buy fun things for the young master today?
